Cutting my darlings

In this draft of No Mortal Business, the sequel to Coral were his Bones, I had a five thousand word scene where Finn’s issues were manifesting itself as an itch he couldn’t scratch that needed to be beaten out of him. Poor masochistic baby.

In the new draft, Finn deals with his issues a little more maturely and didn’t need it. I could have contorted the plot to have it fit, but it would have been unnatural. *sigh*

The mythology of this world I find really interesting. The world is the same world as Cy. I love interconnection.
